Short Bio: Our Associations was born after a group of storytellers ( volunteers) realised that one of the most difficult time in a child´s life, has to be that day when she has to sleep in an hospital. Besides the lack of health, the child is away from home, with all these strange noises and lights around her all the time. So we decided to start reading bed time stories so that, at least, some ansiety disappears. It’s been working like magic. We do it every day in the biggest portuguese hospital, for kids 0-18.
Our name means Vitory, the Cloud – since the cloud brings us the sense of confort; and Vitory – besides winning your disease, it´s also a traditional form of ending portuguese children stories ” Vitoria, vitória, acabou-se a história” (vitory vitory that´s how the story ends).
